Anemia in pregnancy is a condition of the mother with a hemoglobin level (Hb) <11 gr% in the first and third trimesters while in the second trimester hemoglobin level <10.5gr% in the second trimester. The number of pregnant women who have anemia is 308 pregnant women. The Purpose of this research is to find out the factors that influence anemia

Total population of 116 people and a sample of 54 people, data collection techniques, namely secondary and primary data, were analyzed using univariate and Bivariate. The Results There is an influence between inadequate intake of iron (Fe) (P value = 0,000 <α = 0.05 and Family Support (P value = 0,000 <α = 0.05) with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women. The conclusion from the
results of the study is the influence between inadequate intake of iron (Fe) and family support with the incidence of anemia in pregnant women.
